Finding another communist to date is essentially impossible. I have never dated a communist.

Just go to DSA meetings and be weird to all the women ๐Ÿคก

Date a sympathetic lib, make them a communist

[โ€“] WideningGyro@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's basically what I did. My partner was generally lib/apolitical, then I have gradually radicalized her. I did get super lucky that she understands and had/has very strong opinions about climate and environmentalism (part of how we bonded in the first place), so that was an easy vector -> explaining why I believed that solving those problems was impossible without communism. Now we'll be watching some slop tv show and she'll start to do unpromted material analysis and it gets me all hot and bothered

Same, I love to watch them go on rants

Except I started as a lib too lol

[โ€“] WideningGyro@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Oh me too, of course! I was just further along in my radicalization than her when we met - and generally more interested in politics/ideology

My bf used to be really into radlib streamers like funny clown man, and radicalizing him was a long hard process, but very rewarding. He already had basically the right principles, just needed a bit of deprogramming.

i did this tho, i quizzed everyone that messaged me on marx on dating apps and it worked. now have best bf

[โ€“] machiabelly@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

thats incredible, what questions did you ask?

[โ€“] kristina@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

basic stuff in the communist manifesto and terms like dialectical materialism. i was even anarchist inclusive, bf was anarchy adjacent before covid, became a hardline commie after, so we talked about kropotkin and stuff

i had a bad time where a guy acted like he was a socialist but wasnt in an attempt to have sex with me and i got very thorough (he went to some maga thing on an account he didnt tell me about)

[โ€“] kristina@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

oh and if you date another trans person, odds are theyre a socialist of some kind and you can convince them to be commies by explaining the thought process behind it. i dated a couple of other trans women before meeting my bf, we liked each other a lot but it just didnt work out for a variety of reasons. still big friends and theyre all hardliners now

[โ€“] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Try putting "i'm a communist" on your dating profiles, it's worked for me

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

simply hang out with someone who seems cool, realize they're a communist, then fall in love

[โ€“] puff@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Liberals HATE HIM! Learn this one SIMPLE STEP puff used to date another communist!

hey jsyk we have these things called pronoun tags here on hexbear and they let you know when maybe it's rude to call someone "him"
